Damaged country roads / Walmart

I had to drive to the post office this afternoon and noticed there was a lot of damage on the country roads due to the recent rains. They were already bad to begin with, now they are terrible. Even the city streets had a new crop of potholes.

As I passed Chick-fil-A all the purple sage blooms were gone I suppose due to the Monday storms. I was going to go to Ollie's but decided to first pass by Walmart to check their gasoline prices. Found it to be the same as HEBs and equally busy. My long-time readers know that I will NOT wait in long lines.

I wanted to stop at Dairy Queen for a tasty meal but decided to bite the bullet and instead went inside Walmart and bought two large bags of salad. 😢

Found two family-size bags that were discounted. To my surprise, they tasted pretty good. 👍

I wanted to buy an onion but they were expensive and sad looking...

The price of a dozen eggs has gone down but I still passed.

I cruised the camping aisle hoping that this Coleman Butane Stove had been discounted but it had not...I may still purchase it for my future camping trips...will give it another month.

At least they had plenty of butane canisters as in some of the Prepper Channels I watch they are warning their viewers to stock up on them.

Today was mostly cloudy and humid with a high of only 88 degrees. The six o'clock news mentioned that in Alpine, Texas it was 64 degrees. For those not familiar with Texas...Alpine is 80 miles from Terlingua.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

Finally Rain!

Our rains began at 12:27 a.m. this morning five hours later than forecasted but here none the less.  I would have liked to have left my car in the driveway for a free wash but you never know when hail will rear its ugly head so left it in the garage.

I have no idea how much rain we got but it was enough to fill my water catchment barrels more or less 128 gallons and could have probably captured more.  With that thought in mind headed to Walmart to purchase two more 32-gallon trash cans.

These trash cans have been selling for $9.88 for years even up to two months ago today I paid $12.88 for each.  So much for the consumer not having to pay for the tariffs imposed on China!

While there I decided to check out their Butane stoves which at $19.72 seems like a reasonable price.  I have never owned any kind of camping stove but they could come in handy for heating up my canned goods should I need to.

They also had a single burner propane stove but I liked the butane one better.

Headed back to Dollar Tree to purchase these tasty dried fruits that I did not know if I would like.  I bought a package and after trying it decided to purchase some more to eat with my cereal while camping.

I decided to see if they still had Egglettes and they are going fast...

We had a cloudy day with a high of 71 and a low of 60 degrees.  These are wonderful temperatures that I certainly enjoyed because they will be going back to the '90s soon.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
